It's the way football is heading. Not really a bad thing imo.

But we either try and compete with such beasts, or be left behind with tradiotionailsts.

There's a happy medium between what the club currently offers and doing a PSG. It'd be cool to get something going with Adidas that means there's some genuinely interesting items available to drive more casual interest and purchases aside from the obvious of kits, training gear etc.

 

Not that I'll probably stump up the cash for such items but I'm sure many would if they put some genuine time and effort in.

There are 3 massive Adidas retail locations within walking distance of where I'm currently sitting in Toronto. When we were previously working with Adidas, I was able to get most gear, kits, etc from those locations. At our club scale, it'd make more sense to have a NUFC store within those locations over a standalone retail space outside of the Toon.

I guess there are too many competing interests among the clubs and kit suppliers, but feels like a massive missed opportunity that there aren't official Premier League stores all over the world.

I'll be honest with you.

 

We are in the same boat. As a fanbase we would love to be a BVB type club... but we are a Man City type club.

I believe Adidas have tiers or something. Like Arsenal are in the top tier. So there's clearly more finance and effort involved in designs and pieces.

And we are also in that tier. I think what will be available from June will make it obvious how second rate everything was with Castore (and Ashley).

The worst thing is that does actually look like a better selection of tat than NUFC currently offers. :lol:

 

But yeah, has it come from anywhere official/trustworthy that we're slotting in to that Elite tier with the likes of Arsenal? Heard it so often I just assumed that it had come from a sound source.

I don't know where it started honesty, but it's been reported widely at this point.

 

I did also see somewhere there are even levels within the Elite group and we'll be at the bottom with Flamengo. I think all that means is we won't get quite as much custom stuff as the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Man United. Fair enough.

Hardly a bastion of truth - it came as an ‘exclusive’ from Footy Headlines.

Douglas actually had it in his Independent article today as confirmed.

We are by all accounts. My comment above mentions we may not get as much custom stuff as some of the others.

Fair enough. I didn't see this reported by super credible sources at the time.

 

It's the custom stuff that is really cool.
